Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 96 Markets
The time suitable for tomato sowing is very wide, and it can be sown in spring, autumn, or even in early winter.

It's already May, and the temperature will only increase for a long period of time. Keiko Kirino said that she can plant with confidence.

Sowing tomatoes was not in the couple's plan, so Soya had to start from scratch.

Akane Kirino went to look for tomato seeds in her warehouse, and Soya got some hot water under the guidance of Keiko Kirino.

"It's too hot, is Soya going to make tomato seed soup?"

He added a lot of cold water into it, and finally he didn't boil the seeds directly.

Akane Kirino quickly found tomato seeds and soaked them in warm water.

"First soak in hot water for half an hour, then soak in room temperature water until three or four in the afternoon, and finally take it out and put it on a wet paper towel, waiting for the seeds to germinate."

Keiko Kirino looked at the water basin, then looked at Soya and Akane Kirino, "Although it is also possible to dig a hole directly, then sow the seeds, water them and cover them with soil, but doing so can increase the germination rate of the seeds."

(Baidu, everyone should consider the actual situation when going to the ground)

Soya nodded again and again, "I see."

"When the seeds are white, they can be transferred to the seedling tray, covered with soil and cultivated. They will germinate and emerge from the soil in about two weeks."

In other words, there is nothing else to do now except wait.

Kirino, mother and daughter sat on the edge, separated by a water basin soaked with seeds, and Soya picked up a hoe to help dig the soil.

"what is this?"

Akane Kirino followed the sound and turned her head, Tsukiyomi squatted down and looked at the little black spots floating in the water basin.

"Mr. Yuezi, these are tomato seeds."

"yes."

Tsukiyomi stirred it with her hands, picked up a tiny grain with her fingertips, and held it in front of her eyes for observation.

He stared at the seeds, and the mother and daughter watched him, until at some point he got up suddenly and hurried to the living room.

"Oops, the show is about to start..."

Kirino Keiko looked at Yueyue's back and watched him disappear around the corner.

"Mr. Yuezi is really a unique squat at home."

"Is this a compliment?"

"What does Sis think?"

"hey-hey."

The two sat on the edge, watching Hiroyuki Kirino and Soya not far away, wielding hoes and turning over the soil.After all, the latter didn't have much practical experience in working in the fields, so he soon felt sweat on his forehead.

Kirino Keiko watched for a moment, then turned to look at her daughter.

"Go get a towel and wipe Soya's sweat."

"Oh."

Taking the wet towel, Soya smiled at Akane Kirino.

"Thank you."

Soya helped dig the soil, Keiko Kirino didn't make him too tired, and completed the subsequent digging, watering, sowing and transplanting of young plants with her husband.

After the work was done, the morning time was almost over, and the Kirino family stayed in the old house for lunch.

"I feel that Soya's cooking level has improved a lot."

"Really... I'm very happy."

After all, there were still guests coming in the afternoon. After lunch, Keiko Kirino didn't rest for too long, and soon drove her daughter and Soya to the market.

"I'm going to park the car, you go shopping first."

When they arrived near the market, she told them to get off the car first, "Don't run too far."

"Yes~"

Akane Kirino walked ahead and brought Soya to the Baiba Market known as the "Kitchen Near the Lake".

This is a two 300 meter long shopping street.

From the east entrance to the west exit, there are rows of shops along the way, filled with brightly colored signboards. The ingredients sold range from seafood, vegetables, meat, to dry goods, baked goods, snacks and even snacks. very rich.

It was the first time for Soya to come here. He walked and looked at it. There were countless ingredients that made his heart beat, so he walked slowly.When he came back to his senses, Kirino Akane beside him had disappeared.

"Brother, do you want to buy something?"

Seeing him standing there for a while, the owner also came out of the shop and picked up the nearest box of green peppers.

"This kind of Jingye vegetable green pepper is perfect for making vegetable tempura."

"My friend... make tempura? Isn't it spicy?"

"No no no no."

"This pepper..."

After all, Zongya was still thinking about Akane Kirino, put down the green pepper and said to come back later, turned around and went to find her.

He found a few shops ahead, and he found Akane Kirino who was waiting in the tofu shop.

In front of her is a grill, with several strings of tofu covered with sauce on the wire net, and the clerk inside is constantly turning it.

"You are here."

She quickly noticed Soya, and pointed in front of her again.

"It's almost ready."

Soya walked into the store, and the aroma of roasted tofu wafted in his face.The Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed the words "Didn't you just have lunch?"

She looked at his empty hands, "Did Soya buy nothing?"

"Go later."

"Hey, there are a lot of ingredients here."

"There are too many to see."

After a while, the tofu was baked.

"Do you want to pack?" the clerk asked.

"No." Akane Kirino stepped forward, "I'll eat here."

"Ok."

The clerk packed the baked tofu in a cardboard box, and gestured to the paper towel next to it and the trash can not far away.

"Try it."

Kirino Akane sat down on the bench in the store, and handed the paper box to Soya next to her.

He carefully picked up a skewer, and found that the sliced ​​tofu was roasted very tightly, and it was not easy to fall off.

He took a bite of a piece, and the sauce gushed out from the crispy outside and tender inside. The taste was rich, with distinct layers, and the texture was excellent.

"How about it?"

"not bad."

"That's right~ Every time I come to the market, I have to come here to buy some to try."

Kirino Akane ordered four skewers of grilled tofu, and the two sat in the shop and ate slowly.It wasn't until I finished eating that I noticed Keiko Kirino standing outside the tofu shop with her hips akimbo.

"Didn't you just have lunch?"

"..."

After finding the two children, Mrs. Kirino also started shopping for ingredients.

Vegetables are the smallest category in the market, and she didn't buy them either. The focus of her purchases was seafood and meat.Just walking among the dazzling array of ingredients, half-heartedness is inevitable.

"Well, this pickled cucumber tastes good..."

"Just three or four bamboo shoots, two thousand yen?!"

"Would you like some matcha tea?"

Soya and Akane Kirino followed behind, their main function was to carry the bag.

Wandering around, the latter wanted to leave several times, but was caught by Keiko Kirino.

"If you see anything you want to eat, just tell mom."

She turned around and said that the child she was just looking at was Soya.

"..."

He didn't respond, and Akane Kirino didn't notice, she raised her finger and pointed aside.

"I want to eat matcha ice cream."

"No."

After shopping for more than an hour, the three of them came out from the exit on the west side of the market, and their hands were full of ingredients.

"Mom... I can't walk anymore, let's drive over here."

"What are you talking about, this is the sidewalk of the shopping street."

Soya moved the two bags from his right hand to his left and beckoned her.

Akane Kirino smiled happily, and handed him the bag containing several servings of beef.

Just looking at his already stuffed left hand, she took two more.

"It feels heavier than before..."

Soya smiled.

"Do you want to change it back?"

"Forget it."

After getting into the car, Akane Kirino didn't want to move any more.

Because the relatives who are coming will live in the old house, Keiko Kirino drove the car directly, and today's dinner is also being prepared here.

Helping move all the ingredients to the kitchen, Soya was exhausted.

When he went to the living room to rest, he saw Yuedu staring at the TV, with one hand resting on the table, with his index finger stretched out.

"what are you doing?"

He sat down next to Yuedu, and with a casual glance, he didn't see anything.

"seed."

"..."

Soya got a little closer, only to find a swollen tomato seed stuck to his fingertip.

"Are you waiting for it to sprout?"

"Will it sprout?" Yuedu asked back.

Soya was silent for a while.

"What are the three basic conditions for a seed to germinate?"

"Basic conditions? There are three more?" Yue Du was taken aback, "How do I know?"

"Then you want to know?"

"...You can just say no."

Soya didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with him, so he pointed at the TV cabinet.

"Go and read that set of courses."
